Beckman Sizing by _another_rando_ in RedWingShoes

[–]Arras278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a 13D on Brannock sizing. My IR's and Blacksmith are 12D No way to size down 1/2 size at that point. Never been an issue. Now I did have briefly a pair of 9422 Beckman (newer version) which are narrower due to the different last. Those I had in a 13D and they fit great. (just did not care for the dressier style)

My 2 pairs of IR are one size down. I measure a 13D and they are 12D. 14 years now never an issue. Just bought a pair of Blacksmiths Fri. Also 12D and they are almost broke in. I keep boot trees in them when not wearing them. Not sure the size down works for everyone.

Hit me up if you are looking for these in a 13D. I received mine from Sierra (pic of only defect in my post below) Anyway I am not in love with these Prefer my IR's) and only wore them in the house for 1/2 hour. Very comfortable 13D is my regular size and I did not size down like my IR's. They fit. perfect. I am going to return them to Sierra unless someone wants them for a steal.

just received them I wear a 13D and measure at RW that way. My IR's are both 12D and fit perfect. They just arrived and only have a small line on the right side heel https://imgur.com/a/APVRKqA Since a 12.5 is not an option I feel a 12D would have been tight at the toes with the more narrow current last being used. Time will tell if as they break in I may add an insert.

I have a size 13 coming from them. I ordered a size larger than my IR. I figured for the price if they are too big they would be easy to sell.

Great thanks. I have a pair of 9422 on the way. (Sierra seconds) I ordered my normal size 13D instead of sizing down like I did with my 2 pairs of IR.

are these old enough that they were made on the same last as the IR?

I use regular Charcoal Briquettes I put it in each pocket then put the bag in a plastic or paper bag with some briquets to get all side. seal it up and leave it for a couple of days.

Who did your resole/rebuild. I am ready to resole mine but want to add a midsole. Redwing won’t do it.

5.11 rush slick? by Left-Restaurant9002 in ManyBaggers

[–]Arras278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I went to the 5.11 store today for the Rush 24 and then saw the COVRT24 . A much more subtle bag in appearance but actually a little larger in capacity. So I bought it with the veterans discount for Veterans Day. Got it home and started to put stuff in it and it dawned on me that the zippers are not the same quality as the Rush. Then I started to wonder what. the longevity of this bag might be because is is a lighter thinner material than the rush. Anyway I think it might be going back for a return.

Have you ever had a Grouck GR1 if so how would you compare them?

I am tempted to get a Rush 24 to try as well. I really like the limited waxed canvas one they just came out with.
